Looking for a great agent/team in Los Angeles, CA

[Matthew Mirkin]

Hi BPers,

I’ve got my first flip on the market in West Lancaster, CA and I’m looking for the next deal. I’d consider another flip in the same Lancaster area but I would really like to find a fix/flip property in the Los Angeles area, more specifically North East LA (but I’m flexible). I’m looking for any investor friendly agents familiar with the LA area that can help me find my next project. I’ll need an agent that can also put me in touch with some great contractors to help me complete the rehab.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Would love to hear more about that first flip experience. How did it go? Any unexpected issues arise along the way? How did you identify the deal? Thanks in advance!

Tyler,

The first flip experience has gone really well so far. The house has been on the market a little longer than I would like, but we're asking top dollar and it only takes that one buyer, right!? I actually partnered with a former coworker on the Lancaster deal. He's someone that I trust and who has a great deal of experience flipping in that area, so he already had a network/team in place, which was great. My partner was the one that found the deal and we bought the property, all cash, directly from the owner without using any agents. The biggest unexpected issue came when we were clearing/leveling the side yard, we accidentally dug into some electrical lines running below ground to the pool equipment. They ran the conduit awkwardly so we weren't expecting those lines to be in the middle of the yard. Oh well, we solved the problem, live and learn. Looking forward to the next project!
